The right siding trim and color are not just a matter of aesthetics; they’re central to creating a cohesive look that stands out in your neighborhood. In this blog post, Tango & Gatti shares some tips to achieve a stunning home exterior.
Select the Right Color Palette
The color you choose for your siding sets the tone for your home. Earth tones such as greens, browns, and beiges are timeless and merge seamlessly with natural surroundings. Consider bold hues like deep blues or classic grays for a more contemporary feel. These colors are not only eye-catching but also tend to retain their vibrancy under the varied weather conditions of the local area. Remember, when choosing the color, take into account the material, as different siding materials can display the same color quite differently.
Match the Siding Color With the Trim
Trim is essentially the frame to the art that is your home’s exterior. It highlights your house’s architectural features and shapes its overall impression. A general rule of thumb for trim color is to choose a shade that contrasts with your primary siding color. If your siding has a dark tone, opt for lighter trim colors to make the windows, doors, and corners pop. For lighter siding, a darker trim can add depth and dimension to your home’s exterior.
Harmonize With the Existing Roof
The interplay between your roof and siding is essential for achieving a harmonized home exterior. Since the roof can make up a large portion of your home’s visible exterior, its color and style should be in tune with your siding choice.
Texture and Material Matter
Beyond color, the texture and material of your siding can add character to your home. Textured siding, such as shakes or shingles, can provide a rustic, handcrafted appeal, while smooth, clean lines offer a more modern flair. Durable materials such as vinyl and fiber cement have wide-ranging color options and require less maintenance. These choices should reflect not only your taste but also the local climate and architectural style of residences around the neighborhood.
Accent Features with Purpose
Don’t underestimate the power of accent features. Elements such as shutters, gables, and decorative trim can be painted in accent colors that bring together the overall color scheme of your exterior. Choosing a distinctive color for these features can add visual interest and a personal touch that distinguishes your home.
